Bonjour à vous
Well...You should try different "light" versions of the most well known pomades. Murray's super light is great and (as far as I know) can be very easily to find. It holds alittle bit more than Royal crown and as a great shine. BTW, it contains aloe vera, lanolin and coconut...
Bonjour à tous
Well, that's it. You'll need great length. I'll said at least to the eyebrow, or like me, below the nose. Like this : http://www.slickville.com/sections/residents/michael/michael_menu.html
Pomps are quite hard to fix if the hair is too long. With a medium length, you can fix...
Bonjour à tous
Today's shave :
PREP : Hot shower / Nivea cream (I can't wait to use Proraso Pre/post when i'll arrive in Canada - we can't find it here in France)
SHAVE : My brand new HJ Thäter pure badger brush / Merkur Progress / Merkur blade / Proraso cream
POST : Weleda AS balm...
Bonsoir
I'm glad to see some "pomade posts" around here...We butterheads should to compete with the "shave of the day" guys and start a "Pomade of the day" thread :D
Well for me murrays is really to stiff. I use B&W or SGB red to shape my pomp/slickback...but I allways use Murrays to slick...
Bonjour
Well, keep on using Royal Crown... It seems to be a "safe" pomade. I means that the only risk with pomade is pulling out some hairs as you comb it, if you've out to much extra thick wax, like murray's. Royal crown is very soft, so no hair being pulled out, and is mainly made of...
Bonsoir
Well, like the other ones, I think RC would be great. It have a nice light hold that allows the hair to gently move naturally and do not turns it into "cake". You could also try Black and White Light or Sweet georgia Brown Purple (water based). Both of those can easily be found on...
Oh yes, you're damn right. Combing and recombing is part of the deal. You can easily fix the details (the side of the head ie) without a mirror, but for the general shape, you need a mirror and five minutes alone few times in the day.
Bonsoir
Hey, nice hair DJ Cat ! High, thick...that's a pomp ! And it's allways a pleasure to hear about SGB and Black and White, my favorite greases...
By the way, for you Royal Crown European Lovers (I am one of them...), i talked some week ago about the great Pomadeshop german grease...
Bonsoir à tous
I totaly agree with Luke 42. Check you pillow case...I realized that spending a night on a pillow was much more efficient that washing hair to remove pomade.
And yes, Murray's (and other pomades too) are made to stay in the hair. But well, it seems to be a good solution to...
Bonsoir
Well I know mantic59's vids. As my father has always had a beard, this mantic guy really helped me more than my daddy'o !

Hello out there / Bonjour à tous
I was wondering what technique you're using to create you shaving lather. In a mug or directly on your face ?
I use Proraso cream and usualy create my lather in a bowl, but i've realized that lather created directly on the face tends to be thicker and...
Bonjour
Well I hope so. North East of the US is really close, so i'll go cross the border in name of the wet look ! Or else, a gentleman trucker from Missouri will go to the Wallmart and ship stuff for me :D
Amicalement, Bertrand, Bordeaux-Québec, France-Canada.
Bonjour
Thanks for the infos. Here's a question, quite naïve I believe.
As you can see, I live in France. Finding pomades here is just impossible. All the greases I use (5 or 6 differents products depending on how I want to dress my hair) have to be ordered online. So I can't really know if...
Bonjour Irish4
Well, that's quite complicated. I means, greased hair, slicked back, pomped or parted, tends to be quite messy if you're into hard work, physical activities or something. It's hard to allways have a perfect result.
If you can't shower everyday, I would go for something strong...
Bonjour à tous
Here's a question for you Royal Crown lovers. I use daily Royal Crown Hair Dressing, the one in the 8oz cardboard can. But what's the difference between the RC "hair dressing" and the RC "pomade", like we can see on your avatar ?
Amicalement, Bertrand, Bordeaux, France.
Bonjour
Yes, Murray's is quite good. The good trick to use it is to put the can in hot water (in your sink i.e.) for few minutes before to use it. It will make it a lot softer. Or, after rubbing it in your hair, put on hot towel around your hair for 5 minutes. Yes, you'll look ridiculous...
Bonsoir
My usual shave tonight :
PRE-PREP : Half a bottle of Bordeaux Clairet (i'm sure I can take french economy out of crisis all by myself, sponsoring the wine industry with all my heart :D )
PREP : Nivea cream after an hot shower
SHAVE : Proraso cream / badger brush / Merkur...
Well...It's sure that hairdressers don't like customers with tons of pomade. But, if you go on saturday, you can try it today or tomorrow, just a little, and shampoo you hair a few times in the next few days.
And don't forget the olive oil technique to take the murrays out of hair. It's not a...
